Cognitive overload 2. Students sit passively for too long3. Teacher doesn't "work the crowd" Teacher input—student output—teacher input— student output— teacher input— student output Use this Model Instead! Helpless Handraising • Insufficient time for teachers to answer all requests for help• Wasted student time• High potential for misbehavior• Perpetuation of student dependency Solutions: Organize seating so students are within easy reach of teacherPost clear instructions and examples Teachers have 3 different "management styles": 1.Teaching well and rewarding well2.Nagging, threatening, and punishing3.Accepting what they can get by lowering their standards Incentives 1. Grandma's Rule2. Student Responsibility3. Preferred Activity Time (PAT)4. Educational Value6. Group Concern7. Ease of Implementation8. Omission Training9. Backup Systems Are your incentives effective? Preventing the occurrence of behavior problems is the best way to manage them! Room Arrangement Classroom Rules Classroom Chores Opening Routines The room should be set up with generous walkways, for teachers to walk comfortably among the students. Integrating this with the knowledge we already know we also want to make sure that students are facing each other for cooperative learning and also have a clear view of the board and teachers desk. There should be a few general rules defining broad guidelines, standards, and expectations. Also specific rules should be established that describe procedures and routines and specifically what you want the students to do on a daily basis. Assign as many chores to students as possible, this encourages a sense of responsibility and ownership of the classroom.Examples of this include:attendance manger (to take daily attendance)board controller (cleans board)paper administrator (hands out papers)Use these chores to your advantage, if you have a student who needs to get up and stretch their legs give them chores that allow this. Change up every semester or how often you like. Stop wasting time!!! “bell work” Teachers are most effective in setting limits using their body language, while saying nothing and taking no other action.
